Trusted Partners in Horticulture Since 1975

Australia’s leading manufacturer and distributor of pots, containers, and allied products to the horticulture industry.

History

Garden City Plastics stands as Australia's premier manufacturer and distributor of pots, containers, and allied products, dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of the horticulture industry.

We express gratitude to the many customers who have sought the best solutions and products for their growing applications, fuelling our growth and inspiring us to continually enhance our offerings.

Evolution & Expansion

Established in 1975 by Len and Austral Wilson, Garden City Plastics was born out of a vision for a reliable source of competitively priced pots and containers designed for horticultural purposes. The mission for quality, the best price, and a can-do approach has been our guiding force, standing the test of time.

In 1992, Garden City Plastics marked a significant milestone with the purchase of a two-hectare factory and warehouse in Monbulk, Victoria, dedicated to the production of injection-moulded plastic pots.

Micropellets was established in 2005 and is now Australia's leading manufacturer of rotational moulding powder for local and international markets.

In 2016 the old GMH (General Motors Holden) plant was acquired in Dandenong South, Victoria and became the new GCP Headquarters. 

Today, GCP employs over 400 staff and contractors, across its 2 manufacturing/distribution sites and 5 warehouse/distribution sites strategically located across Australia.
